At night, thick clouds obscured the moon, and the mountains outside were pitch black. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the distant peaks, not even a trace can be seen.

Duan Laosan, Zhang Xiaoliu, Lei Shen and others, with more than 20 team members, quietly went out of Sanhu Village and ran to Tongjia Village.

The pocket was filled with explosives, which they were going to bury quietly under the walls of Tongjiazhai.

Approaching the wall of Tongjiazhai, everyone bowed down, according to the information sent by Tong Zhong and others, the sentry on the wall doubled, and tonight was the time for them to focus on defense, there must be countless pairs of eyes, staring outside.

"Say, did they see us?" The little clever asked Zhang Xiaoliu.

"If you can't see it, who will see it if it's blind." Zhang Xiaoliu said, wiped his face, and a little raindrop fell from the sky, wetting his face.

"Oops," Duan Laosan said to Thor, "It's going to rain, these explosives will get damp if they are buried, what should I do?" ”

"No problem, my explosives can explode on time even if they are soaked in water."

The sky is getting darker and darker, everyone is divided into two roads, one way to the left side of the walled gate, the other road runs to the right side of the walled gate, after getting off the road, then enter the rocky ravine, the sky is so dark that you can't see the five fingers, everyone has to grope forward with your hands and feet to explore the way.

"Be careful, there's a pit." There was a whispering reminder from the front. The rain fell, and after a while, everyone's body was wet.

The little clever man has fast legs, runs in front of everyone, and soon comes to the bottom of the wall, looking up, only vaguely see the battlement at the top of the wall, a gust of wind blows, a bean raindrop, crackling on the wall.

Duan Laosan walked over, waved his hand to everyone in the dark, and then picked up a shovel to dig up the soil under the wall.

The team member in charge of the guard, who did not participate in the labor, held the big gun in his hand tightly, and stared closely at the top of the wall, but the sky was too dark to see anything clearly. Maybe in the blink of an eye, the bullets from above will come in, and a sudden storm of bullets will unfold on the wall.

The person in charge of digging the ground is working nervously, this place is mountainous, it is very difficult to dig, the following is a mixture of stone and soil, and for fear of exposing the target, he does not dare to exert himself, he can only grope a little bit, digging for a long time, many people only dig less than a spade board deep.

Duan Laosan wiped the sweat and rain on his head, he was anxious, after a long time, it was inevitable that he would be exposed, if he shot from above, it would be very unfavorable to himself, but there was no other way, the explosives had to be buried, he had to work hard to use an iron shovel to pick the gravel and mud under the root of the wall, fortunately, the sound of wind and rain at this time covered up the sound of everyone digging the ground.

"God, let the wind and rain get stronger." Duan Laosan thought silently in his heart.

The team members next to them, with their guns on their shoulders, were more nervous than the people digging the ground, regardless of the wind and rain, staring at it with wide eyes, as long as there was an abnormal situation, they would have to shoot immediately.

A whirlwind blew, rolling up puffs of sand and dust, whistling away. Duan Laosan heard a faint coughing sound from above the wall. His heart sank, and he could hear the sound of coughing, so would the sound of digging a hole here, will it be heard above? But at this time, there was no time to take care of these, so I had to bite the bullet and step up the operation. After a long period of effort, he and his team members finally dug a few holes, put the explosives in, and then Cui Dalong connected the lead.

When all this was about to be done, suddenly a lightning bolt lit up half of the night sky. The team members were caught off guard, the lightning came so suddenly, there was no time to hide, and the dozen or so people under the wall were all exposed to the white ground.

"Quack," a thunderclap rang in my ears.

Duan Laosan used the bright light of lightning to clearly see that there were two shadows on the wall, which disappeared in a flash. His heart sank, obviously, there was someone up there.

Since there are people above, it means that they will also see the dozen or so team members below, why don't they shout or shoot, as if nothing is wrong?

Cui Dalong ran over and stabbed Duan Laosan, signaling that it was done. Duan Laosan waved his hand and ordered a retreat. Everyone carried shovels and pickaxes, one after the other, quickly ran back, ran a hundred and ten meters away, and met the head of the cover who was in charge of the response, the head of the cover was holding a big gun in his hand, and was looking nervously, at this time, another team of men and horses led by Thor had also withdrawn. Everyone's heads and bodies were already drenched.

"How?" Gai asked.

"No problem," Thor said with a smile, "it's all buried." No problem guaranteed. ”

"But I think they found out about us." Duan Laosan said with some concern: "That big lightning just now, our people are all exposed in the wilderness, can the sentry above be invisible?" ”

"No, if they see it, they can still be silent? Maybe they were hiding from the rain when the lightning came. Thor said.

Another lightning, like a long sword, pierced the night sky, and the wall of Tongjiazhai in the distance illuminated brightly.

"Retreat." Cover commanded.

Everyone braved the wind and rain to run back, the raindrops became heavier and heavier, and the rain poured into their mouths along the top of their heads, for the "smooth" operation at night, many people were very worried in their hearts, Duan Laosan said to Gai while running: "Strange, are they really like Lao Lei said, they are all hiding from the rain?" ”

Until they ran into Sanhu Village, Jiang Yuniang and others were waiting, everyone changed their clothes and drank hot soup, Duan Laosan still couldn't help but wonder, and after telling Jiang Yuniang what happened, Jiang Yuniang smiled instead, "I think, this is normal." ”

Gai turned his head and asked, "You mean, they deliberately remain silent and vacant?" ”

"Yes, I think so, Master Tong is a cunning and cautious person, whether he believes in the medicine jar or not, he will strengthen his vigilance to prevent us from attacking at night. But in such a rainy night weather, the best strategy is to let us into the village, and then surround it, the terrain in Tongjiazhai is easy to defend and difficult to attack, he sets up a good position, and we will fall into passivity when we go in. On the contrary, he attacked outward from the wall, and he could only knock us away, in the dark and dark, even if the guns were fired indiscriminately, how many people could he hit? That's the least cost-effective. Therefore, whether he sees you digging holes under the wall or not, they will not care. ”

"Hmm." Gai nodded his head and smiled again: "I'm still hoping that they won't find out that we planted bombs." Otherwise, tomorrow we will send someone to search for treasure at the root of the wall, and we will be busy in vain. ”

"This can only be left to fate."

The rain continued to rain all night, and the next morning, it did not stop.

The mountain peaks are shrouded in rain and mist, and the mountains and forests are verdant, as if covered with a layer of misty veil. The rocks on the road are very slippery, and a few pedestrians walking on the road with oilcloth umbrellas are almost about to fall after walking a few steps.

These people came out of Tong's village, they were spies sent by Master Tong, and their mission was to reconnoiter the movements outside the village, and go to the road to meet Master Wang. (To be continued.) )
